[](#superlean-silex-starterplate)

As Silex is end of life this boilerplate is abandoned!
------------------------------------------------------

[](#as-silex-is-end-of-life-this-boilerplate-is-abandoned)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/db3c17c39685b4cdfcb798ae682159f665e2f16c83909525600a85d5caf59556/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f69766f62612f73757065726c65616e73696c6578706c6174652e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/ivoba/superleansilexplate)

This project is supposed to be a lean starterkit for your Silex app.
Its superlean, so basically only essential things are included.

If you need full power try:

It aims mainly at simple applications that need routing and just some additional logic.
F.e. its a good container for javascript driven apps that get their data through API calls.

It provides:

1. Web infrastructure

- Skeleton CSS ()
- Bower
- Twig
- HttpCache

2. REST Api infrastructure
3. Console infrastructure
4. Misc

- phpdotenv ()
- symfony vardumper ()
- stop dumper ()
- symfony errors

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via composer create-project

```
composer create-project -s dev ivoba/superleansilexplate PATH/TO/YOUR/APP 2.*
cd PATH/TO/YOUR/APP

```

If you want to base your app on this starter i recommend to do the following after create-project.

- remove .git and init your own git (you should be prompted for this by composer already)
- remove composer.lock from .gitignore, so you can store your dependency lock
- you might want to replace the namespace from "Superleansilexplate" to something more custom

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- bower, composer will call bower install

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Api and web are designed to run on their own resp. subdomains with their resp starting point in /web. If you want to only have one starting point copy this to web.php:

```
$api = require __DIR__ . '/Controller/api.php';
$app->mount('/api', $api);

```

Config
------

[](#config)

In dev environment we use dotenv for configuration, so you can use a .env file in the project root to mimic Env vars.

Templates
---------

[](#templates)

Start hacking in resources/views/\*.twig

Controller
----------

[](#controller)

Start hacking in src/Controllers/\*.php

Provider
--------

[](#provider)

Add provider in src/app.php

Cli Commands
------------

[](#cli-commands)

Run
===

[](#run)

or create a apache / nginx vhost.

```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

`vendor/bin/phpunit`

Heroku
------

[](#heroku)

Superleansilexplate is [heroku](https://heroku.com) ready.

Because we utilize bower, you will need to run multipacks while creating your heroku app:

```
heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi

```

Then just initialize your heroku app as stated in the docs and push it:

```
git push heroku master

```

Docker
------

[](#docker)

A docker setup for apache with php7 is provided.

For using docker in dev environments run docker-compose and check on :

```
docker-compose up

```

For a production build run:

docker build -t superleansilexplate -f docker/apache-php7-prod/Dockerfile . docker run -it --rm -p 8088:80 --env SILEX\_ENV=prod --name run-superleansilexplate superleansilexplate

TODO:
-----

[](#todo)

- yeoman setup with grunt/gulp usage
